Pet care experience

My favorite friends are dogs.

Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs.

Maura did a great job taking care of my elderly dog. She let me know how he was doing and if he went potty. It gave me peace of mind knowing that she was caring for him. Definitely plan on using her again.

Maura is the best dog sitter! She truly cares for dogs and will send photos and updates if desired. When my goldendoodle is with Maura I am able to drop her off with peace of mind that she’s in good hands! She is my go to dog sitter for any type of occasion.

Maura is a great pet caregiver for my dog Jake. She is caring and responsible. She is quick to respond when I need someone to watch Jake. I highly recommend Maura.
